“Hearing Sasha hang up on Richard Pearson of the Illinois Division of the NRA was perfect.
Natalie Moore interviews and segments are my favorites.”

“Bring back Fresh Air. Two hours of this show is miserable. It’s supposed to be a hyper-local show, but the host doesn’t know Chicago. She does not Dona good job of bringing out the best discussions with the guests. She doesn’t ask good follow up questions.”

“Love reset and the topics however not a fan of Sasha she just doesn’t push back in questioning the way Justin and Jen would.
In-depth topics just come off as fluff pieces because she doesn’t steer the conversation ever it’s always the interviewee.”

“As a Chicagoan Abroad, a daily dose of The Reset is exactly what I need — 20 or so minutes to get me caught up on important Chicago stories. Makes me a little less homesick, so I’m thankful. And Sasha-Ann Simons? She rocks!”
